Extensively renovated and thoughtfully updated, 43 Symonds Street presents a quality home with generous living spaces, established landscaping and an impressive outdoor entertaining area, all set on a substantial allotment with views towards the Christmas Hills.
Positioned proudly on the block, the home takes advantage of its outlook, with the kitchen located at the front of the property to capture the views. The updated kitchen combines modern appliances with character features, including an oven set within the original chimney recess, a large plumbed-in refrigerator and a cleverly concealed pantry accessed through a hidden door. A separate dining area provides a dedicated space for family meals and entertaining.
The home offers three bedrooms, with the second bedroom particularly generous in size and enjoying the front outlook. At the rear, the oversized living area is a standout feature, benefiting from a desirable north-facing aspect and views across the alfresco entertaining area. The third bedroom offers flexibility as a guest bedroom, home office or additional accommodation.
The bathroom features a large corner bathtub, while three split-system units provide heating and cooling throughout the home. A wood heater in the lounge adds another heating option, complemented by neutral paint colours, downlights and the extensive improvements carried out throughout the property.
Outdoor living has been equally well considered. The updated alfresco area features Merbau decking, café-style blinds, ceiling fans, upgraded lighting and a well-appointed outdoor kitchen. It provides a substantial, sheltered space for entertaining throughout the seasons, with a direct connection to the north-facing living area.
The backyard offers generous open space, with established landscaping maintained throughout the property. A rear gate provides access to the adjoining parkland, extending the sense of space beyond the boundaries of the allotment. The shed has also been extended to accommodate a mower, with separate access and a wood heater adding further versatility.
Combining extensive renovations, flexible accommodation, an impressive entertaining area and an outlook towards the Christmas Hills, this is a property that offers considerably more than meets the eye. Conveniently located within Yarra Glen, it provides the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed township lifestyle with local shops, cafés, schools and the wider Yarra Valley close at hand.
